Author(s): Wells, H G

First USA edition, first printing (preceded by the UK edition in the same year). 718pp. Illustrated in black and white. Deckled edges. Widely considered a masterpiece of autobiography, Wells' Experiment in Autobiography was well-received by critics and acclaimed by many of those who feature in its pages (such as F D Roosevelt) but failed to gain the sales Wells had hoped for. In beige cloth-covered boards with black lettering and decoration, (boards strong and square, a little rounded at corners and spine ends and sunned on spine). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring a hint of toning on endpapers. In its original dust jacket (a little rubbed on edges, tiny chips on corners, chipped at spine ends). The dust jacket is now protected in an archival-quality mylar wrapper, fitted without the use of tape or adhesives. Herbert George (HG) Wells was an English writer, prolific in many genres. He wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Well-known and respected as a social commentator in his life time, Wells is perhaps best remembered for his pioneering science fiction and futurism works, including The Time Machine and the War of the Worlds.
